Network Architecture Roadmap

This page is a currently loose collection of ideas that may be part of a new network architecture. It needs some cleanup.

1. nodes do DHCP on their own
2. nodes become default gateway for v4
3. nodes become default gateway for v6
4. route IPv4 traffic in IPv6-only networks (XLAT)
5. anycast DNS, optionally terminated on node
6. transition to layer3 mesh
7. allow node to node VPN like mentioned in #378
8. implement nftables
9. implement network namespaces

IPv6 Anycast Gateway

• run gluon-radvd on local-node, announce off-link prefix, announce default gateway
• prevent routes from gluon-radvd reaching the nodes routing table yet allow SLAAC
• receive default routes using ripng
